Trans* in Turkey
A Documentary Work-in-Progress Presentation

FEATURE DOCUMENTARY PRESENTATION:”Work-in-Progress”

The laws and regulations in Turkey when it comes to gender affirming treatment for trans-persons are very complicated and, and changing ID documents that correspond with your gender and name is often a humiliating process.

This is an introduction to a new documentary produced with the support of Sundance Institute Documentary Fund, IDFA Bertha Fund and Frameline Completion Fund, among others. It is currently in post-production and will be released in winter 2016.

Co-producers / co-directors Burcu Melekoğlu and Vuslat Karan will present their film, talk about the process, and show a selection of clips.

NO PHOTOGRAPHY ALLOWED

This documentary is still confidential in Turkey, and the film’s title and name of the subject is intentionally withheld. This is to avoid media attention until production is completed.

We respect the filmmakers’ wish to protect their subject and we kindly ask our audience to do the same.
